Andrew Zeno knew that Nicole could not immediately agree, so he laughed and said, "Yes, it’s indeed a problem, but if we follow the original price, we’ll lose too much money. President Nicole, I have an idea. Your factory has been in charge of assembling the medical devices now. In fact, you can completely hand it over to us. We can manufacture and assemble it for you, then hand over the finished product. Doesn't that save a lot of work?’’
It turned out that this was Andrew’s true purpose.
He was quite ambitious.
Assembly was a technical problem that involved the medical devices' smart chip.
Now, assembly was handled by Stanton Corporation's high-precision factories, and each employee signed a confidentiality agreement.
Once they handed it over to an outsourcing company, i t would be equivalent to giving up their core technology.
If so, what advantage would they have in the market?
Nicole lowered her eyes. There was a bright, specious smile on her face when she raised her eyes and looked at Andrew with wariness.
"Mr. Zeno, how about this, we'll change the contract duration to five years. If you give priority to Stanton Corporation's products in these five years, I can agree t o increase the order prices by 20%."
That way, it would be considered a win-win situation.
Nicole did know that the cost of equipment and materials had indeed increased, and if she stuck to the original price, Andrew Zeno would have to go bankrupt in a few years.
Grant also said that Nicole should give Andrew an appropriate incentive at the right time so that Andrew would gladly supply for them.
After all, twenty percent was quite a lot.
However, Andrew's face clearly showed his disappointment.
What he was more interested in, was the assembly of medical equipment.
Nicole was not at all like the pampered and easy-to-fool princess as legend says.
She was even sharper than Grant.
Twenty percent was also a pleasant surprise.
"Sure. President Nicole, you’re pretty generous. Then why don't we go ahead and sign the contract?”
Nicole nodded and glanced at Logan, who immediately went to prepare the contract.
During the hesitation, Nicole inadvertently saw a familiar-looking person.
Nicole did not pay much attention. In this kind of setting, perhaps that person was also here to socialize.
Since they achieved their purpose, there was no need t o continue to play in the cold weather and bright sun.
Wasn’t she still interested in Eric at first?
"Uh... What happened to your daughter?”
Yuliana looked around warily, especially in the direction that Andrew left.
"Andrew Zeno secretly took my daughter. He’s not a good person. My daughter is in his room in the clubhouse. Please help me to bring her out..."
Yuliana was trembling. She seemed to be in a bit of a trance.
Nicole was suspicious. What if this was a set-up?
She curled her lips and said, "Since you know where your daughter is, go by yourself. Why should I go and save your daughter? I'm not a cop.”
Yuliana bit her lower lip so much that it almost bled.
"I didn't lie to you. I don’t dare to lie to you too! If I lie t o you, Mr. Ferguson will get me killed if he finds out.”
At the mention of Eric Ferguson, Nicole narrowed her eyes. Yuliana and Eric did have a special relationship.
Only, it was not that kind of ambiguous relationship, but rather like an employment relationship.
